Looks like Fox Creek-type leather and overall level. Very good jackets. Heck of a score for $75.
Much, much heavier. Fox Creek uses very heavy leather but literally nothing I've seen except for maybe Cal compares to this stuff.

Yeah, I too do not like naked cowhide, but have seen Fox Creek and they will definitely hold up. Nice stuff, not my thing, but bikers do swear by Fox Creek. Most people in HD forums, v-twin forums, etc. tout them over Vanson, Langlitz, etc. From what I can tell, pretty much every pro-Fox Creek guy just does not want a break in period. They equate immediate suppleness and easy wear with superiority. Pure blasphemy.
OK, it was delivered a few minutes ago. UPS guy must have had me on the end of his route today.
It's twilight so no good lighting for photos today, but I'll try to take them tomorrow.
Suffice to say that this jacket is killer. Very heavy, I haven't weighed it yet, but I'm guessing it's very close to the 8lbs the seller claimed. The leather has a pebbled grain to it, and a waxy feel to it, and is soft and pliable, in spite of its weight and thickness.
It's in a different league from the Aero King of the Road that I had delivered earlier today, but it's fantastic in its own right. Fit is absolutely spot on. @Monitor and @ton312 are going to be so jealous.
A shame I won't have good light to take pics until tomorrow.
It's a bit much, it really is... but (other than that Aero shearling Highwayman that I might still have coming if all goes well) I think I'm pretty much done.Two jackets delivered on the same day.... @Guppy is on another level
Let's not forget he did that with two Thedi's at one point.
Thought I was done then, too.Let's not forget he did that with two Thedi's at one point.
Tease!! I’ll be watching for it. BOK, it was delivered a few minutes ago. UPS guy must have had me on the end of his route today.
